Celebrate Justin Timberlake’s 35th Birthday with a Cocktail Created by His Personal Mixologist

In honor of Justin Timberlake‘s 35th birthday on Jan. 31st, the singer-actor’s personal mixologist Eddy Buckingham created a dreamy cocktail. The drink, which Buckingham made using the star’s own tequila Sauza 901, is a sweet-and-tart concoction that can easily be recreated at home.

“The Three Five is a sophisticated yet approachable drink – perfect for a celebration,” Buckingham tells PEOPLE, adding that he incorporated key ingredients typically fancied by Timberlake. “I serve it in a double rocks glass as that is how he usually enjoys his tequila.”

Despite being admittedly saccharine — it is a cocktail, after all — Buckingham stresses the complexity of the drink due to the addition of orange bitters and cognac.
